Cricketing Nirvanas and Nadirs

“Heady heights..bright neon lights..giddy delights Arsonists torching the Indian empire Reputations scorching..awash with brilliant whites Gilded generation ire… spoils soiled in an oily quagmire Sailing the conquest crest..Kiwi veneration..scaling Test Everest Perturbed…wondrous walloping to disturbed lolloping..absurdly dire Otherworldly umami of the Barmy Army tsunami Marauding sneers trumpet.. foolish career nadirs..retire Ghoulish gravity..devoured by a glutinous abyss Bazball belter depravity..sensationally soured bucolic bliss Hoodwinking..hasten Black caps helter skelter sinking Downed & drowned in a bottomless basin..stinking Hilariously or nefariously bombastic Bellicose blows vicariously fantastic Lambasted & larruped..willow wizards’ blizzards Scary..leery…Kiwis dreary..wary..weary Boisterously babbling record book pleasing Brook.. Febrile lairy timber & turnstile teasing fairy Frazzled dreams bedazzled by pyrotechnic memes Peacocking cavorting with shocking ripsnorter slaughter Lampooned buffoons marooned…as Jaffas deliriously spill.. festooned just like Seville Bazball booming batting baritones..delicious blooming blossom Vicious..nailed..pernicious.. flailed like an impaled pesky possum Stranded in a leaking latrine…Baz branded..reeking of what could have been Outrageously courageous…ridiculously sublime at the same time Flat track thuggery fortuitously free from spin skulduggery? Cosy club snubs…mandarins’ selectorial sins? It’s coming home..it’s coming..in Welly on the telly..what we have seen Prodigal Bazball from South D has already well & truly been"
